. It has a unique suspension system though, which wikipedia claims is "the most advanced system ever fitted to a road car". (citation probably needed)

Motronic posted:Woah....that's pretty cool. But is also seems ridiculously over engineered when you can get pretty much the same result with a gyro and hydraulic sway bar end links (like ACE on Land Rovers) paired up with some kind of adjustable shocks like TEMS. When active suspensions were allowed in F1 (They first appeared in 1987 I believe on the Lotus 100T, prototypes may have existed before in other cars) they were similar to what that Soarer had, and were very obviously superior to conventional suspensions. What I don't understand is why it didn't appear on a sports car - the JZA80 Supra (same platform) or SW MR2 (with some re-engineering) would be a good candidates.
